Dear all,

We are celebrating International Women's Day by organising edit a thons on the 8th & 9th of March, tomorrow and the day after. We are focusing on Women Parliamentarianshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India/2014#Suggested_articles_2in India this time around.

Join us by editing as many articles as possible during these the days. We want to cover all of them. Apart from creating articles, you could also help us by correcting or expanding existing ones. Adding names to the existing list of parliamentarians would go a long way too.

Find more details about the event herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India_(2014). Please add your name as a participant and feel free to start editing over a cup of coffee :-)
